Are you haunted by those annoying little “extra” file or website links in your Canvas content pages? The ones you don't see in edit mode, but that show up nonetheless on a saved page? Here are some tips for dealing with them.
Avoid Unwanted Links Before They Happen
When you're in edit mode on a Canvas page, notice where your cursor is on the page. If the cursor is at the end of an existing link on a line, don't hit Enter/Return on your keyboard to create a new line below it—doing this creates an extra link that's not visible until you save the page. Instead, place your cursor exactly where you want text to appear.
Remove Unwanted Links: Method 1
- On the page with the link, go into edit mode.
- Highlight the extra link
to be removed. - On the Rich Content Editor toolbar, click the broken link icon
. - Press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete the link.
- Save the page.
Remove Unwanted Links: Method 2
- On the page with the link, identify the area where the link appears.
- Go into edit mode.
- Highlight the entire area where you saw the link, even if it appears to be empty.
- On the Rich Content Editor toolbar, click the broken link icon .
- Save the page.
